If true, that is very worrying. I would actually raise that with the Director on the Board in charge of marketing. That should be investigated, because if true we have a serious problem.

This club drains you so much that I actually spent time thinking it would be ok to finish last this year, as we could virtually rebuild our mid field in one draft. Imagine getting Viney with our 2nd round pick, the 2 best mids in the country with pick 1 and first compo pick being pick 2 and then say another good mid at 10 or 11, whatever that compo pick is. You really could become a top side if these kids became the basis of a new midfield for us. We are ok forward and back and in the ruck IMO. I know we won't finish last but I just couldn't help thinking, one more bad year and then a decade of good years to follow, I could live with that.

That's another issue. It's Time asked about swapping now. Maybe you could send the club an email and they could make half hats and half scarves next time.

Winner of the best post for this week.

Agree. Did Eddie start the ball rolling, how much is he sending across?

That is one of the poorest pieces of journalism I have read. For example did he consider any of the following points before penning that piece of trash? 1. Establishing that Polis did in fact make the comments and that they were not put there by another. 2. Following the Corporations Act. 3. Applying good governance. 4. Allowing each Director to have their say/vote. 5. Making/announcing the decision in business hours and not while Directors could have been out socialising and drinking and not thinking clearly. 6. Announcing the decision to the media in daylight so that they could all be present. 7. Allowing MFC staff the time to be informed, so signs, logos etc could be removed before the announcement. etc, etc, etc. Patrick you should stand ashamed for kicking us while we are down and actually doing the right thing. Shameful piece of trash.

First congrats on being a member while living interstate. Second I don't wan't to nitpick but it would cost to swap a scarf for a cap. Those scarfs they give out are extremely cheap, ordered in massive bulk and probably cost a few cents each made off shore. The caps are far more expensive. If everyone did that we would lose a fortune. I understand your request and while reasonable if everyone interstate or in the country did it you could imagine the result. That said they should have explained that to you and maybe offered something else. I am not knocking you just trying to explain their point of view and costs involved.

I would be shocked if there aren't companies out there that can see the massive good publicity they will get by aligning to the MFC at this time. The club is down, but still leading the way in standing for what is right over financial gain. A few new sponsors and a few wins will turn everything around.

Mooney said when he played early on, he did his ankle and instead of rehabing he went out for a few drinks. He said, that drink session affected his recovery and actually ruined his year. He also said if you are serious about your football you don't drink when injured.

While not a headline, we see Nicholson suspended for a match for drinking. What's tomorrow?

Just saw some of his facebook rants on the news, it was even worse than I thought. Disgraceful.

There will be plenty more headlines this year.

Just viewed the press conference with Cam and I feel proud to be a Demon. He was outstanding.

You may wish to send that to Greg Denham, the author of the statement.

Still think he can be a very good player.

I will try again at home and see what happens, because it is happening to my office computer.

Is anyone else having trouble when posting, in that the font size and style of writing changes all of the time?

Imagine if you were the FOJ sponsor right now. The publicity you would have received would be priceless.

I meant , with all the crap we have had lately, it would be nice to win a game for a change.

What's next for our club? Winning a game might be nice.

Funny.

Not sure if anyone has posted this already, but what I found totally offensive is the line from Thomas that " my informant who was only second hand has gone to ground and Neeld has denied it, so I guess I will have to take him at face value" . Since when was Thomas the Judge of what was said and what is right and wrong. That is a grossly offensive comment, to say to someone who has flatly denied doing something and without any other reliable evidence to the contrary, that " I will have to take him at face vaule." What about being a man and saying "I believe what Mark told me, my information was wrong and I apologize". [censored] weak and probably defamatory in the first instance.

And on and on it goes. Most of the new threads could easily have been a post on the Postmatch thread. Perhaps it would be helpful if mods explained that only completely new topics need a new thread.

Thank God for that.

Wow. One match in and everybody starts a new topic. 200 new topics. It is making me dizzy going up and down the front page.
